NEWS: Fun Spot Action Park Announces White Lightning!

[deathbydinnI eat bugs.]

I'm hoping that is just generic concept art as the water park shown in those pictures is very different from what was announced before. If that's what's really built I'd be kinda disappointed since all the unique slides announced before are gone.

Do they own that land on the other side of the road? The plot across from the wood coaster is what I'm referring to.

[xVicesAndVirtuesThe best thing about TPR is the donkeys.]

Love it! They're really squeezing it in even more than I thought they were going to. The fact that they have the GCI, Skycoaster, and Star Flyer all positioned on the back end near Grand National will make a very impressive sight from I-4, only a few hundred yards away.

I'm also curious about that other wooded plot of land. It'd definitely be cool to see them expand over in that direction after a few years go by. Maybe do a bridge over the road Kentucky King...err Bluegrass Boardwalk style!

I'm really excited about this. I'm even more excited that I live about 3 miles away!

It's me again with my third post to this topic about the Fun Spot Action Park. To refresh your memories, on page one I wrote how amusment parks are born and on page three I wrote what will they add to the expansion and letting the speculations begin. Then I forgot about this topic until now and decided it was time for a revisit and see what was coming up for Fun Spot Action Park.

All I can say is !!!

We, as riders and amusment park flyers, must lend all our support for this newfangled enterprise as not only it will contain more rides and attractions (not to mention as a cheaper alternative to those other theme parks that will cost you an arm and two legs - inflation again), but Fun Spot Action Park will be helping the economy out by creating 200 new jobs. Plus, the expansion plans for the GREEN TRACK will make that track much better (when I last drove on that track, I thought the layout was too tame and lame - that was many years ago ).

Looking at the artist rendition of the park expansion, didn't I see three coasters deplected? I saw the woodie and steel coaster, but I also saw what looked like a kiddie coaster. And I also saw more areas to contain spinning flat rides when I only know of two: the double decker carousel and the windseeker. Are there more rides they are going to add or what?

Finally, on my last post on page three, I was asking about the two ponds: are they going to stay or will they go? By looking at the artist rendition again, I see land, but no ponds, perhaps they plan to drain all the water out, fill in the hole, and refilter the water to be used for their water park section. Add speaking about water park section, I know about the lazy river, but what other water slides will they put in?

Does anybody know or is it the old "Just wait and see" bit?

Here's an off-ride animation of the new GCI, as well as a back seat POV. Looks like fun!

That actually does look like a lot of fun! This is sure to be a great coaster, and hopefully a great investment for the park.

[simon8899I wish they would make Street Fighter Donkey.]

Great to see that even a small park can not only previal but expand around the mega-ressorts next door.

If they've the woodie up by April 2013 I'm sure to check it out....

This looks like a really great expansion for the park! Next time i'm in Orlando you will see me there

Haha, that reminds me of an actually good version of the terrible out-and-backs I always end up designing in RCT. As much as I'd rather be on the ride itself, that certainly got me hyped for its eventual opening!
